Living History for the Cider Festival

Sunday, September 15, JQA Young House Park, 119th & Cornell

This year, in addition to the “History Tent” with displays of Cedar Mill history photos and artifacts, we are bringing history to life with Living History demonstrations of what life was like here in the past.

Do you have a skill or an interest in showing how the natives and the pioneers made a living? Basket making, weaving, herbal medicine, butter and cheese making, how old farm implements were used…these are just a few suggestions of activities that will help us understand what life was like in our early days.

We’d love to have you join us for the afternoon to share your interest with our visitors. Please contact us at info@cedarmillhistory.org or call 503-803-1813.

The Cider Festival is the community’s big event of the year. Troop 208 turns antique cider presses to squeeze fresh cider from 1000 lbs. of apples and serves it free to everyone. We also have live roots/Americana musical entertainment with Lauren Sheehan and Friends, great food from Retrolicious (and maybe more), kids activities with the THPRD RecMobile, and free parking in the Bible Church lot. The event is sponsored by THPRD. Learn more at cedarmillhistory.org/ciderfestival, and join and share the event on Facebook!
